Hi Everyone,
After 2 years of owning my 2018 M2 LCI I thought it was finally time to do a build post. My build which is named M0010 (0010 is 2 in binary) is the most recent and in depth that I have undergone thus far. My vehicular history started with a 2009 VW GTi followed by a 2011 BMW 135i which really instilled my love for BMW and for the N55. After 4 years I made the move to a 2014 BMW M235i, M-POSTER which was the first car I took down the modification rabbit hole. Below is my last post documenting that build from a few years ago.

The M2 has been an awesome platform for this build and I have been nothing but happy with over the 26,000 miles since pickup at the Performance Center in South Carolina. Though this is my daily driver and many of the modifications are cosmetic I have built this car with performance in mind as well. Over the last few years the car has been tracked at Palm Beach International Raceway, Daytona, Sebring and Homestead and it has really done well, no major complaints.
Being my 3rd N55 I have become quite familiar with this engine and love the feel, sound and dependability. This made the decision to mod quite easy yet again on this one. Along with the aesthetic mods the power mods came right along with them. Feel free to check out the progression from the very beginning as well as follow how the build progresses on my instagram page: @_m0010
